A severely wounded man described as a “speaking mummy” has been rescued from a bear den where an animal had dragged him to eat, according to reports.

The man, named only as Alexander, was found by hunting dogs roughly one month after he was overpowered by the predator in Russia’s remote Tuva region, it has been claimed.
